Hello, I think its just me.. I have not been able to conect since around 10pm GMT. I checked CoV website and it shows server running but i cannot even connect to http://laanx.fragnetics.com/ I have been getting randomly disconnected alot lately but thought that was normal.. any help appreciated.. thank you.. I now know the server is running i could ping it from an external site..  So i know i am the problem  :'(

I can connect to it. Try changing "laanx.fragnetics.com" to "210.193.49.103" in case you have temporary name resolving issues.

I have tried that and it dont work it still says server failed

Edit:
My un-educated guesss is my problem is isp related for some reason I think they are blocking your server I phoned a friend who also has "bulldog" and they cannot connect to http://laanx.fragnetics.com either.. but i can connect via proxies so it has to be isp related imo   >:(

Edit: 2 
I phoned "Bulldog" and they dont know whats wrong but said if it dont work by tomorow then to phone them back adn they will try to sort it out  :'( 
*insert curse word, any of your choice*
but before you are connected to talk there was a message you hear when you phone them saying they have a problem and can affect certain servers check the site for more info.. I could find nothing nothing on the site.. but at least I can blame someone now  :@#\

So I guess I will not be around for a day or two.. Hope im missed :P

I called my ISP and they said that I have complete access to the internet, that they do not block anything from getting to my PC... I haven't tried proxy yet or tryied to get a new IP address so I will update when I know more.
